Billy’s subsequent descent into a life of crime, cut short in an aborted robbery, gives one of the most poignant scenes in musical theatre, and his attempt to make amends when given an unexpected second chance makes this show even more heart-warming.

The wonderful ensemble cast also features baritone Richard Burkhard (The Magic Flute 2012), soprano Rebecca Bottone (The Pirates of Penzance 2013) and renowned bass Graeme Danby.

STAYIN’ ALIVE, NIGHT FEVER JIVE TALKING, TRAGEDY MORE THAN A WOMAN HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE When John Travolta walked on to the dance floor in the smash hit film Saturday Night Fever, it changed the way we dance forever.

The date is 1976 and in Brooklyn, New York, Tony Manero, a young man with a dead-end job and an extraordinary ability to dance, has only one ambition in life - to become the disco king.

When he meets Stephanie, who also dreams of a world beyond Brooklyn, and they decide to train together for a dance competition, their lives begin to change forever.

This brand new production of Saturday Night Fever, one of the most loved dance stories of all time, is coming to Glasgow this Christmas and is packed with legendary hits from the Bee Gees including the classics Stayin’ Alive, Night Fever, Jive Talking, You Should Be Dancing and How Deep is Your Love? A large and hugely talented cast of actor-musicians will play instruments, dance and sing in this spectacular new musical production.
